Found money

I came into a small windfall, which motivated some friends to provide adages and superstitions about found money. I don’t see the difference between this cash and any other, but I’m willing to listen.

It was provided to save. There’s a divine power that has an interest in my financial planning? Sounds like a stretch to me. I think divine entities have bigger fish to fry.

Don’t accept it because it causes woes to the loser. In these circumstances, I became the rightful owner. The source, a company of no small means, won’t suffer much and they lost it by their own hand.

You’re supposed to donate it to a charity. Like savings, I budget the donations. I don’t buy that the source of funds signifies its earmarking by a higher power.

I listened, but didn’t connect the event to a spiritual manifest destiny. Then, I noticed the amount was almost exactly the price of a kayak I’ve had my eye on.

Now that is a sign from above if I ever saw one. Glad I kept an open mind.
